I have a favour, I need a document checking that it makes sense and is using the correct words and tenses. I'll be honest, it is a job advert and I used Google translate.

I have advertised for someone who is a good communicator and needs to be fluent in English, but I thought I would try and make an effort and show that we try, by advertising in the local Polish shop in Polish. I want to show that we care. And banging it through Translate looks like it was no effort made and we don't care.

Happy to post the text here, or PM someone.

Thanks!

If I wanted someone fluent in English I would advertise in English.

If you wanted to show then you care, buy them flowers after you’ve hired them.

Otherwise try fiverr

It’s good of you to want to try and get it right, for you, and any applicants.
I lived with a Polish girl for 8 years, I can say “I love you”, count to 10, know words like bread, listen, butter, shop, beer, brother, where is? etc, and I can decipher, “If I catch you looking at my sister again, you’re a dead man.”

I’m guessing they don’t want English people

Pm it across, or post it up.

I have a few Polish people on my team, I’ll get them to look it over for you.

Będziesz cieszyć się jazdą, być towarzyskim z dobrymi umiejętnościami komunikacyjnymi. Będziesz musiał pracować na różne zmiany, w tym dni, wieczory i weekendy. Zasadniczo będziesz pracować na tym samym schemacie zmian co tydzień, ale nadgodziny będą dostępne. Powinieneś mieć możliwość efektywnej komunikacji z pasażerami i innymi pracownikami. Mamy szeroką gamę umów z lokalnymi szkołami, szpitalami i innymi firmami.

Do celów ubezpieczenia musisz mieć ukończone 21 lat i mieć pełne brytyjskie prawo jazdy z nie więcej niż sześcioma punktami. Możemy być w stanie pomóc w pokryciu kosztów odznaki na podstawie jej zwrotu po podjęciu pracy,

It makes sense and it would be understood however your punctuation isn't the best, or so I'm told.

That's why I'd like a fluent speaker to correct it for me. The punctuation is lifted straight from the English, via Google so probably not the best. It's perfectly fine in English is what I mean.

Maybe post the English as well so the translator knows what you meant to say?

That agrees with what I'm told. Wouldn't be a problem at all to a Polish speaker.

Just had a colleague look at it, she's Polish, as previously said the punctuation isn't 100% but she says it's adequate.

My wife had a read and said it looks fine. She did ask why anyone would want Polish drivers. As a nation they can do many great things but driving well isn't among them smile

Would you like me to chuck a free advert up in our local job centre? (Inowroclaw)

The only sticking point may be the GB licence....

I had loads of Polish drivers in my taxi business. At least 50. Most were pretty good. Good work ethic.
